If you are not already going, showing, or bidding on a
breeding in Perry, Georgia, the first week of May, you
should be. Region 12 is the largest and most populace of
all the Arabian regions, and this show reflects that. Not
only does it host some of the best competition in the
country, starting off the show season with gusto, it also
is the setting for the Region 12 Spotlight Stallion
Futurity and Auction. This event, held during
the Region 12 Championships, has spent ten
years “creating an atmosphere of fun for
the handlers, excitement for the owners
and recognition of the breeders. It is one
of the most innovative programs in the
country,” as Frank Hennessy describes it.
“I have participated in the Region 12 Spotlight program since its inception. The program allows us to procure
breedings to significant stallions, and if the resulting foal meets all expectations and more, the possibility of sharing the Spotlight prize money is thrilling. The program is extremely important to the Region 12 Championship show, too, in that it brings a multitude of entries now, in both halter and performance.” – Denni Mack
The Region 12 Spotlight Futurity
DecadeAin the Spotlight ...

The importance of the Region 12 Spotlight Stallion Futurity is multifaceted ...
It is a program for Breeders. Implicitly, by increasing marketability of enrolled
stallions and their offspring and, directly, because stallion owners receive an
Auction Certificate if their stallion’s breeding sells for at least $600; “double the
fun” for breeders and owners of nominated stallions. As Frank Chisholm states,
“This is a big benefit for the breeder in that he can compete with his foal in
Spotlight classes or use the
foal’s eligibility to improve its
marketability.” The Spotlight
program also recognizes its
breeders through the Stallion
and Breeder Distinction
Awards. The Spotlight is
“A true program that brings
growth to the Arabian horse
through participation of the
breeders,” says Roxann Hart.
It is a program for Owners.
Whether purchasing a foal that
is sired by an enrolled stallion,
or bidding on a breeding
directly from the auction, the
payouts are impressive. This
year will be the Spotlight’s
largest projected payout yet of
$181,339.00!
It is a program for Halter Enthusiasts. Of the
$181,339.00 in projected total payout, approximately
$114,232.00 is available for halter. Additionally, Region
12 holds some of the largest and most competitive
halter classes of all the regionals. From David Boggs,
“Midwest Training Centre has always been and will
continue to be a large supporter of Region 12 and now
their Spotlight program. The Spotlight adds great value to
breeders, the marketplace within our Arabian community
and to the horses that we all love.”
It is a program for Performance Enthusiasts. Payouts
given in the Spotlight performance classes surpass even
those at the national level. Just ask Rob Bick, “The Junior Horse classes in the
hunter, western, and English divisions are now starting to be positively affected by
Spotlight horses. We are seeing trainers drawn to the Region 12 Show from other
areas of the country because of the Spotlight program. The effect of the Spotlight
in our training business has been incredible. It is not just a halter program.” He also
shared that nearly a third of RBC’s training horses are there specifically to prepare
for Spotlight competitions. Additionally, the educational seminar that is sponsored
“We have been impressed by the participation of both stallion owners and exhibitors over the past few years at the Region
12 Spotlight. The Spotlight group does a wonderful job of promoting breeders of some of the Arabian community’s most
influential stallions in the world.” ~ Robert North
“I feel that support for this program, and other similar programs, is essential for encouraging future interest in
breeding Arabian horses, and strongly encourage everyone to get involved with the Spotlight Program.”
~ Ted Carson
“The Spotlight Program is the best thing that could possibly have ever happened to encourage breeders
and owners.” ~ Rob Bick
by the Spotlight this year is “Nutrition for the Performance Horse.” It is safe to say,
that none rival the performance involvement in this program.
It is a program for the Exhibitor. The Spotlight Auction this year
will be themed, “Cinco de Spotlight,” as Region 12 starts on Cinco
de Mayo, the favorite celebration of all taco and
tequila lovers! The auction will start
at 5:00 p.m. on May 5th, and directly
afterwards, the Spotlight will be
sponsoring the Exhibitor Party
(or should we say, Exhibitor
Fiesta!). The band that played
last year, The Session Road,
was such a great addition to the
Spotlight Auction Night Festivities &
Exhibitor Party, that they will join the fun
again this year!
In closing, as the Spotlight program rounds out its first
decade, there is no doubt that it is a program for the ages.
“The efforts of the Spotlight members reveals their commitment to the success of Region 12 as they work closely with them to insure we all stay focused on the beauty and uniqueness of the Arabian horse.” ~ Frank Hennessey
